After School Activities

If you're living in or visiting Boston this summer and need a little escape, why not check out one of the nearby Boston Harbor Islands? Just a short ferry ride from Boston, the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park are a great spot for adventuring, exploring and all kinds of day trips during the summer.
And, best of all, there are tons of things to do out there. From concerts to field games to family tours to kayaking, there's something for everyone.
